SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 605,332, dated June 7,1898.

Application filed December 4, 1397. Serial No. 660,751. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that LTHOMAS GERARD OWEN, of Newport, in the county ofNewport and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and ImprovedGarment Hanger, of which the following is a full,clear, and exactdescription.

This invention is a garment-hanger capable of supporting trousers andcoats, and especially adapted to hold trousers so that they will bestretched into proper shape.

This specification is the disclosureof two forms of my invention, whilethe claim defines the actual scope of the invention.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both Views.

Figure 1 is a front View of one form of the invention, and Fig. 2 is anedge View thereof.

The invention has a support or body 5, provided with a chain 6, by whichit may be hung. Secured adjacent to each end of the. support or body 5is a bracket, each of which comprises a bottom hook '7, adapted tosupport a coat or vest, and a top hook 8, having a curved inner face 9running down to the body 5, and an outwardly-projected portion 10', thelatter being adapted to carry a coat,vest, or the like,

like the hook 7. The curved faces 9 of the hooks 8 hold a cleat 11 theyouter face of which is beveled to conform to the face 9, so that as thecleat 11 is pushed downward it will be wedged firmly against the body 5,thus clamping the trousers (indicated by the character 12) firmlyagainst the body 5. In this position the trousers are hung so that theywill be stretched into proper form and relieved of thewrinkles which areproduced by use.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent A garment-hanger having a body and a THOMAS GERARDOWEN.
